Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 350 grams Feta Cheese Offers a creamy and savory flavor that is irresistible; can be replaced with ricotta for a lighter touch.
  • 120 ml Milk Adds necessary moisture to the filling; feel free to substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 large Egg Acts as a binding agent to hold the filling together.
  • 4 tablespoons Fine Semolina Absorbs moisture to keep the filling from being too wet; corn flour can be a suitable alternative.
For the Pastry
  • 8 sheets Filo Pastry Defrosted overnight; remember to brush them with olive oil for the best results.
  • Olive Oil Essential for brushing the filo sheets; it helps achieve that irresistible crispy texture.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Baking Tray
  • oven

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F.
  2. Whisk together the egg and milk in a mixing bowl, then incorporate semolina and crumbled feta. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Prepare your work surface by laying out one filo sheet, then brush it lightly with olive oil. Repeat with another filo sheet.
  4. Spread a thick line of the creamy filling along one narrow side of the stacked filo sheets.
  5. Fold the edges of the filo over the filling to secure it tightly, then roll it into a log shape.
  6. Arrange the rolls on a greased baking tray, brush the tops with more olive oil, and poke a few holes.
  7. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
